Chapter 436: A Prodigy of the Ages
Lu Yao directly incorporated [Skyfall Island] into the ring world group of the vortex world, using the Sylvanus Tree as the anchor world.
[Do you want to connect this world to the Tree of Sylvanus? ]
[It is estimated that 971 points of faith will be consumed]
After completing this set of standard procedures, Lu Yao directly checked the background of Tianzhui Island.
…
[Skyfall Island] - Gravel World - Abandoned - 4179th Epoch in Progress ...
[Introduction] and [Development History] only have records and descriptions after the 1143th era. Before that, everything was blank, without a single word.
Lu Yao estimated.
The most likely possibility is that this information was deliberately deleted by a certain navigator.
There is very little water on Tianzhui Island, and there is only one kind of life called [Moai], which is a stone man condensed from the earth element. Only earth element creatures like them can exist without relying on water.
Although it is named an island, it is extremely short of water, which seems very strange.
In the rules of this world, a large number of entries related to [Water] are missing or damaged - this kind of destruction is different from the clean and neat style of erasing historical records.
For example, the natural phenomenon of [fog] exists on Tianzhui Island, but [rain] is completely disordered and collapsed and cannot function at all. The description and definition of [hail] are very complete, but because other water-related entries are destroyed, it cannot actually fall.
If human beings were to intentionally destroy the world, they could completely wipe out the water.
But that's not the case.
Lu Yao speculated that Tianzhui Island must have encountered some kind of disaster, causing the collapse of many world rules, and the biggest impact was on water.
There are very few rules related to water left in the entire world, and the water element is difficult to transform continuously.
In addition to the local Moai, Tianzhui Island also had a visitor.
This visitor was described in the world's backstage as a "phenomenon of all ages", but that was all. There was no more detailed description or record.
Lu Yao thought that he would have to trouble Song Shiyi again.
It's not good to trouble her all the time, it would be great if I could get a committee database account. Of course, this is just a thought for now.
A sentence recorded in the World Encyclopedia may be a long period of natural evolution at the world level. To further understand Tianzhui Island, you have to go there in person.
Fortunately, we now have the Yellow Turban Warriors, which makes it very convenient to do these things.
Soon, Lu Yao and Isabel entered Tianzhui Island together.
…
When Lu Yao arrived at Tianzhui Island, his first feeling was desolation.
All you can see here are rocks and desert. The whole world seems like a long-dried stone kingdom, with only the desert yellow left on the earth.
I don’t know whether to say it is fortunate or unfortunate. Due to the destruction of a large number of rules, the rock shapes here are very complete and have not been weathered by natural phenomena such as wind and rain, and their original appearance is well preserved.
"My Lord, it is not easy for new life to be born here."
Isabel looked around and said, "Even elemental life requires the movement and circulation of multiple elements to give birth to new life in the process of movement. In time, this should be the next Yunzhong Temple."
Lu Yao noticed that there were three gray-brown stone statues on a stone platform not far ahead.
He stepped onto the stone platform.
The stone statues here have a wide square face, with eyes, nose and mouth carved in a simple and crude way. The head occupies half of their body size, and they have no hands or feet. Their heads are slightly raised, looking into the distance.
The three stone statues are lined up in a row, shoulder to shoulder.
Lu Yao discovered that the three stone statues were of different heights.
The stone statues on the left and right are tall and majestic, about five meters tall, about the same height as a two-story building. The stone statue in the middle is only about three meters tall, looking like a little brother among its peers.
Not only that, the stone statue in the middle is a living being.
…
[Moai LV14]
HP: 610/610 Mana: 1/1 Damage: 12 Defense: 12 Speed: 7 [Elf]
Elf creatures have a long lifespan, but grow very slowly.
【Thick skin】
Earth
…
Although it stands or squats motionless, the simulator determines that it is alive.
Lu Yao raised his hand and a bolt of lightning fell in front of the stone statue.
A charred mass was blasted onto the ground, with white smoke rising.
The stone man who was originally pretending to be a stone statue immediately stood up and ran away.
Although the Moai are stone men, their bodies are not well-proportioned. In contrast to their overly heavy and huge heads, their arms and legs are a bit short. When they run, their shoulders sway from side to side, as if they can't bear the weight of their heads, and their posture is somewhat funny.
Of course, it could also be that the Moai in front of us looks like this.
Soon, the stone man was chased back by Isabel.
Like an ostrich, it retracted its hands and feet and turned into a stone statue gazing into the distance, trying to deceive the powerful enemy in this way.
Lu Yao was amused and walked up to it: "Can it talk?"
“…”
Seeing that the other party was still pretending to be dead, Lu Yao raised his index finger, and another bolt of lightning fell behind Moai, scaring it so much that its body trembled.
"Are you willing to talk now?"
“…”
Lu Yao was a little unhappy.
Are you still pretending? He sent a bolt of lightning down upon the moai, causing it to tremble all over and run away again, only to be driven back by Isabel on her magic wand.
"This is my last warning. Speak properly."
Lu Yao said seriously.
Isabel seemed to want to say something, but in the end her lips did not move.
The stone man struck by lightning suddenly knelt on the ground, in the universal gesture of submission.
Lu Yao suddenly thought of it.
Is it possible that the Moai race cannot speak?
The World Encyclopedia doesn't seem to mention that they can speak.
After trying again, Lu Yao was sure.
It really can't speak.
It's all misunderstanding.
So, how do we communicate?
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
On the other side of the simulator, players can directly read the thoughts of pixel life through the dialog box, but cannot communicate directly. The agent can descend to the virtual world, and the dialogue is possible, but the power of the god is restricted by the agent's body.
Lu Yao closed his eyes and looked up the encyclopedia of Tianzhui Island.
【Moai】's 【types】 【appearance】 【living habits】...
Found it.
Lu Yao opened his eyes and touched the gray-brown body of the stone man in front of him.
The two sides immediately entered into a wonderful state of vibration communication.
This is how the Moai communicate, through physical touch.
"May I have your name?"
"No name."
"So how do the Moai call each other?"
“Use body parts to refer to it. If it is touched by the left hand, it is called the left hand. If it is touched by the right hand, it is called the right hand. If it is touched on the back, it is called the back.”
"Then your name is Fourteen."
"yes."
“Are you a god?”
“I guess so.”
"God! God! God! Strong!"
…
The Moai as a group express themselves clearly, but they lack those complex and delicate emotions, and are straightforward.
This actually saved Lu Yao a lot of trouble.
Fourteen said that the two stone statues next to it were the elders who once took care of it, but they had gradually become motionless over the long years and had completely lost their life and vibration.
The Moai are unable to reproduce themselves and their numbers are decreasing.
In the past, there were 120,000 Moai on Tianzhui Island, but they all disappeared over time. Now, there are only 400 Moai that can still move in the world.
The mission of Moai is to wait for the arrival of ships and the sea.
"The ships and the sea will come here, and then we will need the moai. We will move the things on the ship and wait for other ships and the next sea."
Fourteen said, "We wait, we look out, the ship and the sea will return."
Lu Yao understood it roughly.
The fallen island today is more like a temporary port or a transit warehouse built by some god. When the ship and the sea arrive, these Moai as workers will participate in the transportation and other labor.
But for some reason, the ship and the sea never appeared here again.
Lu Yao asked it: "Is there no god here?"
“There is a God!”
Fourteen said: "He is a great [man of all ages], He is the friend of Moai, He is a powerful god!"
Another extraordinary person throughout the ages.
Lu Yao asked it what kind of god this was, but Fourteen couldn't answer. It had not come into direct contact with the "Eternal Wonder Man", but had heard about it from other Moai.
All the Moai that had come into contact with this god have turned into stone statues.
Fourteen suddenly said, "The Great Man of All Ages left behind a stone tablet! He recorded the Moai on the stone tablet!"
Lu Yao was overjoyed and asked it to lead the way.
Fourteen switched to stone man mode, and walked at a constant speed all the way, but it looked more like its legs were wading through the stones on the ground.
It took Lu Yao and Isabel across a terraced hill to a place surrounded by hundreds of stone statues. These Moai were dead, and the stone bodies left behind were still looking into the distance, waiting for the ship and the sea.
The stone statues surrounded an extremely large stone slab in the middle. There were many black symbols on the stone slab. These symbols were densely packed, like tiny characters all over the surface of the stone slab, like some kind of seal.
Lu Yao was stunned.
How come these symbols and words are Chinese? The slabs are all written in traditional Chinese characters, in the ancient writing style of right to left and top to bottom.
Lu Yao looked at the front of the row on the far right.
"Diary of a Trip to Tianqi Island"
…
He hurriedly found the last line.
The signature is "Written by Xu Hongzu Xiake of Jiangyin".
Lu Yao was shocked.
[A remarkable man throughout the ages] turned out to be the famous ancient traveler, Xu Xiake?
